- Add spinach to reduced liquid, cover and cook until tender. Allow to cool. In a small saute pan cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon bits and drippings from pan. Melt butter, then add shallots and garlic and cook until translucent. Add shrimp and spices; continue to cook until shrimp are opaque.
- Drain spinach well, reserving liquid. Add spinach liquid, heavy cream and hazelnut liqueur to shrimp mixture and continue to cook until liquid is thickened and reduced by 1/2. Allow to cool.
- Then in a medium sized bowl mix spinach with shrimp, bacon and remainder of ingredients (except oysters). Top each oyster with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stuffing. Cook on top rack of grill at high heat until mixture is bubbling and golden brown on top.
